I think it would be interesting to implement a game mode with the possibility of friendly fire. Friendly fire makes the game more difficult and can be frustrating at times. However, it is more realistic and makes you hesitate before shooting a shadow. In RO2 it worked very well and I think in Enlisted it could work.
Sorry, my English is not very good, I hope you have understood me. Thank you.

I think, No, hell no.
I agree, the FF is makes game more difficult. As the fact says, the most of Gaijin games community (respect for exepcions and good lads) , involve Enlisted, ppl are not neat, respectful and well mannered to allow them this ‘privilage’. Trolls, causal palyers, community-poppers etc could cause hard damage in game as well…
Crossout, Heroes and General etc. are also handles partial friendly fire well , when you cannot kill teammate with everything, like: "Shooting toward teammate, throwing greande etc. Its works well right now. (My subjective point of view about FF is diferent than current one, ingame, but noone cares.)

This is related to an earlier suggestion of a “Realistic” gamemode (link) in which basically the more Arcade-like elements of the game (like no FF) are taken away. I think such a gamemode would definitely be interesting.

P.S. As a different game mode, like @117556842 mentioned, like Hardcore? Yeah, like in Battlefield. Would works well. Current mode and Hardcre mode with no FF and other stuffs you know. In this interpretation, could work.

In a game where we have bots as our squadmates? I really don’t think so, especially with AI’s proclivity to get right into your line of fire, it’d be a massacre. Maybe, with a reworked AI that is actually decent - I can see that being implemented as a separate game mode. But that’s months if not years ahead.

With the amount of stupid gameplay and clustering of teammates that occurs? Oh boy NO THANK YOU.
Especially with the current glitch where you can order your AI to attack a tank and they all throw their detpacks at you or in random directions.
Yea, that’s actually a good point, I don’t know how well friendly fire can be made to work with bots. Maybe the Realistic gamemode would have to do without AI, but then why would developers spend so much time improving the AI if they’re not going to use it. And yea, maybe not a suggestion with the highest priority, but long-term still an interesting idea and not unfamiliar to Gaijin.

It’s much better to ban troll or some angry person fast, than let them ruin your game for days. With FF and auto-bans community will be cleaned of those, who unable to learn.

->accidentally hit teammates with a bomb like an imperfect human would
->get banned
->bro you deserved that.
Yikes. Keep FF off
What games with FF do you play, that instantly ban you for accidental kill with explosives? Examples i know of is at least 5 kills of actual players per game (about 30min).
It is so easy to spot those, who aggravate, espesially if one player is targeted. If you were an admin or moderator of some game server, you should know that movement patterns (not so hard to teach neural network actually).
The friendly Bots always running into my shooting. It can be a problem becouse with friendly fire the bots will be without any sence becouse they would die so fast. But after they are dead they don’t run anymore in my shooting what can be good.
Friendly fire would add strategy and tactics to the game. Yes, lets have none of that please… It would interfere with the bombing run, mortar and artillery spam.

Artillery and maybe mortars already friendly fire.
Otherwise the points have already been made about it.
Yes also it force you to be careful in CQB so you don’t smoke your own guys… I canty tell you haw often ill see a guy dive out behind cover and light up an entire ally not knowing if anything’s there and get a squad wipe… CQB right now is just constant pre firing and explosive spam…
Sometimes I see soldiers in the distance. Sometimes I doubt for a moment if they are friends or enemies, but I shoot anyway because I know there is no danger of killing my friends. I think being able to activate friendly fire would add tension and hesitation before firing, just like in real warfare. the game would be more difficult and more tactical. That is just my opinion. The friendly fire option could be kept deactivated for those who prefer it as before and each person decides in which mode and server they want to play, in games with friendly fire and without friendly fire. With more possibilities and more options, this game can be made bigger and each person decides how they want to play. Having more options and possibilities is beneficial for everyone and each person is free to choose the game mode that interests them the most.
